Brantford Ontario - Canada - Alexandra Presbyterian Church - 410 Colborne St - Architecture
Presbyterian Church was built in 1901 at the corner of Peel and Colborne Streets with dedication services being held in December 1901. In 1912 it was decided that a larger church was needed and the corner stone for the new building, on an unoccupied section of the same site, was laid on September 12, 1912 (Brantford Weekly Expositor, September 19, 1912, p. 15) with the opening of the church in June 1913. The original church was used as a Sunday school. The church was named for Princess Alexandra of Denmark who later married Edward VII, not because of its proximity to Alexandra Park. This congregation refused to join the United Church of Canada in 1925. Major renovations were done in 1978 with most of the original building being demolished for a new entrance and parking lot
